The Power in Loneliness 

I try to read and get new ideas or watch RU-vid videos that's how I even came across your book for the first time in 2023. Then I tried to binge watch your interviews and podcasts. Currently alone and looking back at the growth, I've learnt how to connect with people more (when I am out there) with the little chance. Thank you for doing whatever you did to put out all these subliminal books. Davui from Africa, Ghana

In my journey through loneliness, I found solace and transformation in the idea conveyed by the quote, 'Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.-Dag Hammarskjold' This profound thought resonated with me deeply, serving as a beacon through my darker times. It propelled me to search within and around me for a purpose that was not just a distraction but a calling. As I discovered my passion, I realized that my focus and energy had shifted significantly. My loneliness, once a constant companion, began to fade into the background, overshadowed by the enthusiasm and fulfillment derived from pursuing my newfound goals. It was as if in finding something that truly mattered to me, something I was willing to dedicate my life to, the weight of solitude lifted. The loneliness that once seemed insurmountable became a catalyst for profound personal growth and engagement. I no longer felt defined by it, nor did I feel it with the same intensity. Instead, my passion and commitment to my cause filled those spaces, providing me with a sense of belonging and direction. In essence, by finding something that captivated my heart and mind so completely, I inadvertently rendered my loneliness irrelevant. It's a journey I believe many could benefit from, turning inward to discover what truly moves them, and in doing so, transcending the solitude that once held sway over their lives.

I grew up in a family full of conflict, so I learned to love the peace of being alone. Now I am 48 years old, live alone with my dog and like it this way. I get a sense of community at work ( with co-workers from 20 to 53 years old, from different countries and I love the way we work together). I also like the sense of community with other dog owners. Simple things but on a daily basis. I have also a sense of community with a good friend of mine, who live in another country and with my "Lebensmensch" (that's german for "person of my life" ) Being alone is ideal for me if I'm doing something creative (hobbies) and as a mean of recovery after interacting with many people (clients and co-workers). Many years ago (20?) I read your book "48 laws of Power" and "the Art of seduction". A couple of weeks ago, you popped on my RU-vid feed 😊 I like listening to you and I am re-discovering your work.

I read "click" as "dick" 😅

Thank you for watching.

real

Same here 😂

Ummm.....yes.

Get yourself a nice partner and focus on your work and purpose. As an introvert, I'd rather be isolated and heal myself than in a crowd with mindless sheeps.

​@@True38There is nothing like "Sheeps" my good friend.😊

Yes Me To,

It is always better to be alone than in a sh**** relationship

True

Because you don’t like… feeling alone ? 🤨

@@Takiki There’s a big difference between solitude and being made to feel alone. Huge difference.

I recognise those words 😢

Yes 100% the only way my family can accept me is being their little bxtch,they make out they are really good people and alot of people fall for it😢

@@ws5826that’s an interesting perspective. I will ponder it.

@PrinceKoopaTell us what's right and don't hold back.

Happiness =connecting with a person on the same frequency as you. That's heaven.

Every human is different so every human has different types of happiness ​@@roses6564

@@roses6564Happiness is state of mind. And you have a lot more control over your state of mind than you do over another person.

Very well put ❤

That’s a bar lmao

_"Hell is other people."_ That's my favorite JPS quote! So true!

BOOM!

What?

You can actually block out other people that stressed you. There's a technique called filtering. Other people's problems are theirs, don't let them invade you. I have learnt it as a well coping mechanism and it works well.

I couldn't agree more ❤

I like that !

Facts

Love this!

Precisely correct!

I think that I think this is what is happening to me

Look up Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer. Page 64 😇

❤❤

I went through the same process. The moment I accepted myself as an introvert, I felt free.

How did you find it? I'm considering doing similar myself

Wow! Your too pretty to be alone.

@ryu029 I did city breaks, so not so obvious you're alone, and just long weekends at first just to see how I felt. but more you do more confidence you build.

Did that once in Bali. It was incredibly annoying when this street kid kept hanging around my hotel and would literally follow me whenever I walked down the street. He's symbolic of people in general when I want to be left alone.

@ohmannonotnow your is a possessive determiner. Perhaps you meant you You’re which is a contraction for you are.

Schopenhauer quote. Nice.

Yep.

I think, on the contrary, the finest minds tend toward solitude.

@@mainstreet3023 But that still directs to his statement.

Debatable. lol

Same here 😌🙂

Yes

That describes me. When I'm social I'm very social but I also guard my alone time and rarely let others infringe on it. When I do feel lonely, which happens around birthdays or Christmas when I miss family who have passed away, I just remind myself of the good times we had and treasure them.

@@feralkat9370 Indeed. That's practically all that can be done. Smile or day dream about the good times, while being glad you were able to experience them 👍

omg wow this is so true it kind of makes you confident in a way ..

Yes, yes he does… ❤

Take good care of yourself Sir. We really need your wisdom and knowledge. Difficult to find pure honesty nowadays.

So glad you found him. He changed my life, too. I recommend his books constantly to my clients.

Be real. You saved your life

@PrinceKoopa I can comfortably say that Robert Greene has God-given knowledge and his wisdom describes reality with honesty. You can actually say that a man is honest by reading his books. I judge the man by his words. He is an honest man, and I invite him to read about the prophet of Islam Muhammed.

Wow, true for me too.

@@tnt01 : I hope you find the right people around you to have great and positive memories soon. It is one of the best thing to share a great moment with other people.

@@brainstorm3k loyalty is hard to find nowadays.

Really for me too

Facts

Yeah I remember my parents told me they were concerned I was lonely. They then realize I really wasn't since this new age, we are able to be social online. I basically am able to stay in touch with high school friends who really are a huge good influence because of discord and social media. One friend kept wondering why I wasn't finding a woman to potentially date but he realized that I was so heavily working on myself so much that when he saw the change I made from when I met him, he realized I was working on myself first. Also that I wasn't in a rush.

Living alone but with a cat/cats makes a lot of difference. They bring so much joy and comfort.

Me too

@@jannyhansum9716Absolutely agree!

I live alone with my cats too! One is sleeping beside me on the couch as I type this. 🙌🏽 ❤

Indeed it is🎉

Yes🎉😮

😂😂 true

Hang in there, I know that people can overwhelm you and me. Practice, decent responses to their predictable verbal attacks(they seem like attacks). Observe what others say in similar situations.

Agree. People confuse the two. I wish all these people who preach over being alone, know the difference too. They dont have a clue. 😢

I agree!

Agreed

Absolutely agree

Abolutely, he's got a beautiful voice..

I often look to see if the author is the narrator of any audio book I’m considering. That one consideration makes up 1/2 of my decision to buy. Speaks to the writers commitment to the works! Albeit not every author has a voice that will add value.

It’s good to see someone comfortable going it alone at such a young age

Which book first?

@@oneminutedaily6394 48 Laws of Power

Hope you enjoy reading Mastery.

Sounds like it's not a problem at all.😊

Same

It's the best thing.

God bless you and your mother.

I feel you my friend I lost my mom just before Christmas as well. I think about her and miss her everyday. Be well ❤️‍🩹✌️💙💪🌹🙏

@andrews127 Thank you..she was a good age of 86 but it was sudden and unexpected because she was doing well..spent the hour before singing along to Christmas Carols. God Bless!🙏

@laurenfinucci7305 Thankyou. I'm sorry for your loss. Yes,it's very hard. What was really bad for me was I took her to A+E at the hospital the day before for the same symptoms..but they put her on a drip for an hour and said I could take her home.

@@borderlord I happened to be with my mother when she passed. Same scenario as it was sudden and it was horrendous She had ischemic heart disease and the heart just stopped.

Well said
